13 Reasons Amy Poehler & Tina Fey Are Your Dream Best Friends
The Golden Globes honor the finest movies, TV shows, and actors of the year, but let’s be real: for the past two years, it’s really been a celebration of the crazy, beautiful friendship between the hostesses with the mostesses, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. Amy and Tina have been friends for over two decades, way before either of them became household names on “Saturday Night Live,” which is what makes their friendship the best thing ever. And in a perfect world, Amy and Tina would be our BFFs.
Amy and Tina are set to host the Golden Globes for the third — and sadly, final — time in 2015, so it’s time to revel in their brilliance one last time and pray to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association that Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson from "Broad City" cover for them next year. Here are 13 reasons Amy and Tiny are your dream besties:
They’re both incredibly successful.
Since Amy and Tina took over the reigns in 2013, ratings for the Golden Globes have skyrocketed, hitting a 10-year high in 2014. #girlbosses
They’re not afraid to go against the norm.
First ever all-female Weekend Update team on “Saturday Night Live?” NBD.
They support each other’s work.
When Tina took home the SAG Award in 2013, she shared her win with her BFF Amy. "Amy, I've known you since you were pregnant with Lena Dunham," she joked. "I've known you so long, and I love you."

They can predict the future.
They said it, and just a few years later, it happened. "1989" Taylor is all about embracing singledom. She really did need time to find herself, guys!
They understand what it’s like to be you on most days.
The Monday morning struggle is real.
They’d bring the best snacks to book club.
Of course, they'll probably make you read "Bossypants" and "Yes Please" all over again, which you'll do happily.
You can binge-watch “Scandal” together.
Amy and Tina are the ultimate #gladiators.
You can hang out with their adorable kids.
Tina has two daughters — Alice, 9, and Penelope, 3 — and Amy has two sons — Archie, 5, and Abel, 4. Coincidence? We think not.
You’d get the best career advice.
“Don’t waste your energy trying to educate or change opinions; go over, under, through, and opinions will change organically when you’re the boss," Tina writes in her memoir "Bossypants." "Or they won’t. Who cares? Do your thing, and don’t care if they like it.”
You can quote “Mean Girls” together.
Grool? Grool.
They’re absolutely ***Flawless.
Could they be anymore perfect?
No. Seriously. They woke up like this.
Amy and Tina should just host every award show ever. Better yet, they should host literally everything on TV. Grool? Grool.
